Former Galatasaray star Ümit Davala has urged Nigerian international Victor Osimhen to remain calm following Galatasaray's draw against Eyüpspor in the Super Lig.

The 25-year-old, who has been in impressive form since joining the club in early September, couldn't find the back of the net as the league leaders were held to a 2-2 draw at home. Osimhen, however, recorded an assist, taking his tally to five in 12 matches for the Super Lig champions.

The reigning African Footballer of the Year was quite animated after he was denied a penalty in the 21st minute of the game following a rough tackle on him.

Sharing his thoughts on the game, Davala urged the Super Eagles striker to exercise some patience as he believes Osimhen has taken on many responsibilities already.

"Everyone says, 'If Osimhen is there, there is no problem.' He already feels that.

"If he had stayed calm a little longer during the match, I think he could have taken advantage of these positions. We already see that he has taken on a lot of responsibility."

Osimhen has become the mainstay in the Galatasaray attack, netting nine goals in 12 appearances for Okan Buruk's side.
